Bikers post here.

^^^sweet! Now there's a hardcore rider!

I used to ride in the snow when I lived in Kansas. I had a honda 250 enduro at the time. Everybody thought I was nuts, but I loved it.
 
You know what the difference is between a biker and an enthusiast?

When it rains..... a biker gets wet. :)

A Ural with the 2 wheel drive sidecar will probably go where some 4wheel drives can't!

Mine is 1WD, and does quite well in the rough stuff. A 2WD Ural just gets stuck a hundred yards further into the woods. :p
 
I have a Kohler-powered Rokon 2WD for nasty trails and a Yamaha WR250R for when higher speeds are desirable. Thinking about a Husqvarna 501.

Next time tell em "that's mr. biker idiot to you, cager dork", then leave em in a nice cloud of burnt rubber.
Actually, just don't. That gives us all a bad name. Just nod and smile, and next time you see em broke down on the side of the road stop and change their tire. We'll convert em one at a time.
 
It was -22 last night (in March?!) and we still have a crapload of snow here. My bike is parked in my living room for the winter. I sat on it today and made "Vroom vroom" noises. Silly, I know, but it made me feel better.

I generally don't feel much of an urge to talk to cagers anyway when I've almost been sideswiped on the highway twice this past week because they felt like making an unsignaled lane change without checking to see if anyone would be in the very spot they're trying to move to.
 
When I ride in the rain all I get out of it is wet.
I avoid it when I can.

Just found this thread.

Moonlighting, putting chops together w/ my buddy.

Heres a few and some recent acquisitions.

Bike on the lift is a Redneck my boy just picked up, not our build.





First build was an XS 650. (old pic, two plus years ago) On its way to its new home.



Support your local bike builders.

Stuck in the shop for upgrades(big bore kit, aftermarket EFI unit, performance cam, swapping out some gears) Q_Q

Max speed was only 71 mph downhill with no headwind, so I'm hoping to get a little bump there:thumbup:.
 
the thing about being a little guy is there are just some things he can't do; like steering a 700-pound bike around the way you monsters do. GRRR......

I think that has more to do with your ability to countersteer than anything else. I weigh about 200 lbs, and I doubt that pushing my fat ass off the saddle to one side would steer it:thumbdn:.

I personally like lighter bikes. Fuel economy is excellent, you can stop faster, and it's less of a catastrophe if the thing ever goes down on its side.

Hank does have a point. It's funny how I can just sling some bikes around like crazy, but some smaller dudes have trouble with stuff like that. On the other hand, I've seen little bitty girls riding road kings with no problem.
Tell me more about lighter bikes... They stop faster, get better gas mileage, and are less of a catastrophe when you lay em down?

I've seen that too, and my first thought is, "how is she going to pick that up if she lays it down?" :D

I figure 400 lbs would be an Olympian task for me already:thumbdn:.
 
I rode my old hog over to visit my pal Wild Bill yesterday. He does really amazing bikes and trikes.

Some of his recent builds were a John Deere trike from a tractor.How about a ski boat trike for rolling in style or his latest trike a 3 seater Porshe complete with the high performance Porshe motor for $10,000
